Wallyhood is looking for a new editor!

It has been an honor to serve my rotating post as editor-of-the-week since last April when Wallyhood was officially “re-launched” to operate as a shared editorial effort among myself, Jordan, Katy, Ben, and Jack. After starting the blog and dedicating over seven years to keeping it running, Jordan reached out to his readers for support and the community responded by helping to come up with a more sustainable model.

Today, we are a solid team of 5 editors who meet monthly to talk about what’s happening in the neighborhood and ensure that the content of many talented writers gets published for your reading pleasure throughout the week. It’s truly been an inspiration to watch our neighborhood show up to keep this awesome resource alive!

I’m writing today because some recent life events require me to step away from my editor post for at least the summer, and we’re looking for a new editor to come on board and join our team! Our ideal editor enjoys the blog, wants to see it thrive, and has 3-4 hours per monthto commit to a weekly editor post (once every 5 weeks), with the following responsibilities during their shift:

Maintain a shared editorial calendar to keep a posting schedule of about 3 articles/week

Wallyhood is dedicated to fostering community and communication in the Wallingford neighborhood. A group of volunteer editors rotates the responsibility of managing the site, and we welcome stories from all our neighbors.

This week’s editor is Ben Robinson. You can contact the editor-of-the-week at [email protected].
